What we do:

With the help of a passionate group of animal loving volunteers, SCCR aims to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome horses in need. Thousands of horses are needlessly slaughtered in Canada. We aim to save as many as we can from that fate and help STOP the industry altogether.

RESCUE:About 80% to 90% of horses at auction end up purchased by meat buyers - weanlings, yearlings, pregnant mares, mares with foals, broke horses, wild horses, healthy horses, sick horses... We rescue these horses whenever possible, and nurse them back to health and facilitate a second chance.

REHABILITATE:As new rescues arrive they are mostly untouched by humans. Interacting and gaining the horses trust is our first goal. Our primary intention is to get halters on, so they can be handled safely and assessed by our veterinarian and farrier. Ongoing training continues with all horses, focusing towards solid ground work, and suiting them with a new forever home.

REHOME:With strict vetting requirements and high standards of future care, we ensure each rescue is rehomed to a loving environment. We continue to follow our rescues in their new homes, providing support and guidance for the lifetime of that animal.
